Any funny wear from running the fronts underinflated?

I’ve read posts from several folks that say anything less than 80 psi on the front of DRW’s with stock sizes produces uneven wear.
I never had any weird wear at all, but was running 255/80/17 Toyo AT III's

Ah, that explains the front pressure being so low.

Ok brand was the wrong term. What ply and rating and size. You can use a chart for sure or do the math on % of max load. I just do the caulk test and make sure the tire has even contact.

I did the math for years before having good access to the charts, it does work and won’t leave you underinflated.

To be honest these days its more surprising when they are right!

It’s pretty pitiful, isn’t it.

My most recent example was having to show the dealership how to route the wiring for the Y43 recall… after giving them 2 tries.
